One of the primary jobs of the inspector general in any US government department, including the Commerce Department, is to protect the rights of whistleblowers. Continuing with the theme of ineptitude that pretty much defines the Bush Administration we find that the inspector general at the Commerce Department is really bad at his job.
The U.S. Office of Special Counsel, under investigation for misconduct itself, has found that Commerce Department Inspector General Johnnie E. Frazier committed "egregious violations" of the statute that is designed to protect government whistleblowers when he demoted them whilst they were investigating his spending.
Allow me to recap; an investigation by an office that is under into the punishment meted out to prevent an investigation in another office has found evidence of misconduct.
I think that means that Mr. Frazier has been exonerated but I will wait for the White House to clarify this for us.
